You Have To Know How To Divide These Polynomials

What is the first step in setting up synthetic division?

• Add the remainder

• Multiply the coefficients

• Set the divisor equal to zero

• Ensure the divisor is quadratic

In synthetic division, what do you do after dropping down the first coefficient?

• Add it to the next coefficient

• Multiply it by the divisor

• Divide it by the divisor

• Subtract it from the next coefficient

What does the last number in the synthetic division process represent?

• The constant term

• The linear coefficient

• The remainder

• The divisor

If a polynomial is not factorable, what can be inferred about the divisor?

• It will have no remainder

• It is not a factor of the polynomial

• It will evenly divide the polynomial

• It is a factor of the polynomial

What does a remainder of zero indicate in synthetic division?

• The polynomial is quadratic

• The divisor is incorrect

• The divisor evenly divides the polynomial

• The divisor is not a factor

How can you express the division of polynomials as a product?

• By adding the remainder to the divisor

• By multiplying the divisor with the quotient

• By subtracting the remainder from the quotient

• By dividing the quotient by the divisor

What is the significance of the 'freebie' in synthetic division?

• It is the remainder

• It is the first coefficient that is brought down

• It is the divisor

• It is the last coefficient
